Love Me Beauty - Edition 3

My first August beauty box has arrived! The Love Me Beauty box took a while to arrive - usually their service is very fast and the maximum time I've had to wait has been 5 days. This time it took 9 days and I had already started to worry that maybe it had been lost in the post. Luckily, my beauty box arrived today as I was really excited to get it.

I chose Edition 3 - the box contained 4 full size products.  





Marsk - Mineral Eye Shadow in shade 'Lucky Penny' - RRP £14.49

I don't like loose powder eye shadows much but as it is 100% natural and cruelty free I might give it a try. It is highly pigmented and has a creamy texture which makes the product easy to apply wet or dry.



A La Carte - Smudge-Proof Eyebrow Definer in Blonde - RRP £23

I've had this brand before. I got their mascara from one of the previous beauty boxes and I wasn't very impressed. I have never used water-based eyebrow definer before but luckily it can also be used as an eyeliner or for body art. It might be more useful to me as an eyeliner. Basically this Brow Ink can be applied on brows using small strokes for getting individual hairs. It can be left to dry on its own, softened quickly with a cotton bud or smudged with a brow brush. 



Oriflame - Swedish Spa Beauty Wonder Oil - RRP £8.45

Like you all know by now, I love body oils! This oil by Oriflame is perfect to use for a massage, moisturising, bathing or even as a pre-shampoo treatment for dry hair. It contains coconut oil, sweet almond oil, ginger oil and Vitamin E. It doesn't smell very strong which is amazing for me, as I like body oils natural and it leaves room for you to use own perfume.




And last Mirabella - Lip Luster Liner in shade 'Shy' - RRP £10.50

Yesss! I have wanted a good lip liner for a while and I am looking forward to using this properly. I have tested it already and it is so easy to blend and layer. It also contains Aloe Vera which keeps lips soft and application comfortable. It has a long-wearing shiny finish and is the perfect base for a lip gloss. This liner also sticks better on clean surfaces, so it is not recommended to wear lip balm before applying.



Overall I am super happy with my box and Love Me Beauty just keeps surprising me with good products! I always love to try out some new brands!

Glossybox - Iconic Hollywood Edition

This month Glossybox takes us a step back in time and worships Hollywood beauty royalty. There are four collector's edition boxes with different coloured bottoms and a Marilyn Monroe print on the cover. My box is a mint green and looking very pretty - definitely worth keeping. The box contains 5 beauty products - 3 of them full size. The products are inspired by the silver screen stars whose elegant and timeless beauty is still as relevant as it was then. The Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil and POP Beauty Kajal Eyelines Pen are both essential to achieve a time-honoured look - a red lip and feline flick. Eyes and lips are the windows to the soul - when I am doing my make up, I like to concentrate on them the most. I am glad Glossybox chose these classic staples for this month. Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss is the perfect Marilyn red. It's in pencil form which makes the application really easy and because it has the matte finish, it can be glosse

4 Days in Rome / Day 2 More sightseeing and tours

We planned for Monday to be our main sightseeing day. The morning was started with breakfast at our hotel before we left at 10am. A bus to the city centre took us just 10 minutes - €1.20 for one way ticket. Our first stop was at Piazza Venezia, a major circus and known as the central hub of Rome. The majority of Rome's popular tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and are within walking distance. The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) caught my eye and we decided to see it up close. This monument was built in 1925 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel, making it quite a new attraction compared to the rest of the Rome and its architecture.   From the top of the building you can see a 360 degree view of Rome. A ticket to the top costs €7 but you can stay on the roof as long as you like!    Our next stop was Santa Maria in Aracoeli , another beautiful Catholic church with a monumental staircase. While you can see the Col

Jewellery box

It is time to take a look inside my jewellery box! I don't wear many accessories during the winter. Why? Maybe because I am all wrapped up and it can be so annoying when earrings, necklaces, bracelets and so on get caught on the extra clothes. But now that spring has arrived, it is time to take all of my accessories out and start wearing them!     I had actually forgotten how much I had in this box - it was such a surprise. It felt like I had just bought them again! I found loads of hair clips and hairbands, which were all ordered from eBay. I don't think I have paid over £5 for any one of them (postage and packing included). They came from China and like everybody knows, it takes about a month for them to arrive!   This peacock hair clip is my favourite. I have worn it a couple of times and I can't really complain about the quality. It actually looks like it is worth a bit more than the £2 I paid.     I love these two hair clips. Th
